The announcement of the arrival of Megabox, the new legal project by Kim Dotcom, which was previously discussed on FullPress last June, has moved to YouTube.
What we learn today is that at the core of the Megabox project lies Kim Dotcom’s idea to dismantle the constraints of the music industry by offering direct revenue to songwriters.
From the video, it appears that Megabox will present itself as a true social network, ensuring communication between users.
At the same time, users will be able to purchase multimedia content, with 90% of the purchase price going directly to the artist or band, excluding major labels from the process.
It will be possible to directly search for the album or artist of interest, or to be guided by the system, which will offer internal rating charts and suggestions for songs based on the user’s current mood.
In the video, a group of programmers can be seen working on lines of code, and there are also some previews of what Megabox will look like.
Furthermore, the first band featured in the project is Radiohead; Kim Dotcom seems to be a fan, as they are experimenting with layouts and functionalities based on “Karma Police” and other well-known tracks. However, David Bowie, Blur, Foo Fighters, and others also seem to be in the Megabox “catalog.” It is not yet clear whether these artists have chosen to join the project or if these are simply illustrative, unofficial screenshots.
